By far the oddest request I’ve had for weddings this year was from this couple.

Cliff & Jjana: “Could you NOT shoot pictures at the ceremony?”

Me: “No pictures at the ceremo–…” THUD! I fall to the ground.

When I finally came to I was in a hospital and was told I’d been in a coma for 12 years. That’s weird… I must have traveled back in time during my coma.

But as much as I tried to convince the beautiful couple to let me take pictures during the ceremony, they insisted that as actors currently living in DC, they’d become too aware of themselves with a camera clicking away to be natural during the part of the wedding they didn’t want anyone to remember in any way but in their hearts.

I respect that. They knew what they wanted, they knew what they were giving up but felt that what they were gaining was greater.

Cliff & Jjana were an absolute dream to work with. Very laid back and the coolest personalities. And their guests were too (see?).

Hope you enjoy the photography and Happy Memorial Day!
